As we enter into August, the summer cocktail keep coming here on Whiskey Muse. Today I’ve been inspired by some of the awesome fruits that are currently in season at the local farmer’s markets: raspberries, peaches and apricots. Instead of doing a white wine sangria of sorts, I thought, why not make it more of a champagne-cocktail style of drink with some liqueurs + bitters that showcase these flavours?

22.5 mL Chambord
7.5 mL Apricot Brandy
